Pharmacotherapy is part of a comprehensive guideline-conform treatment concept for people with obesity. The foundation of obesity treatment is initially a conservative multimodal basic treatment and consists of a low-energy diet, increased physical a…
OBJECTIVE: Studies have demonstrated dose-dependent efficacy of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists for glycemic control and body weight. The aim of this trial was to characterize the dose-dependent effects of semaglutide (up to 16 mg/week) in…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1)-based therapies, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, represent highly effective treatment options for people with type 2 diabetes and obesity, enabling effective control of glucose and weight loss, while reducing card…
: Heart failure (HF) among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is linked to significant morbidity and mortality, despite the increased availability of new drug therapy. This study aims to investigate subclinical changes in patients with HF stage A (…
GLP1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have become a central component in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and are gaining prominence in the cardiovascular field. Semaglutide and other GLP1-RA molecules possess cardioprotective properties.…
BACKGROUND: GLP-1 analogues are a relatively new class of medications that form the cornerstone of diabetes treatment. They possess invaluable glucose-lowering properties without hypoglycemic effects as well as strong cardioprotective effects. The gu…
: Fatty liver disease and obesity are among the most prevalent health conditions in modern society and have recently garnered significant attention. Semaglutide, a well-known anti-obesity drug, has been widely used for diabetes and obesity treatment;…
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The prevalence of hepatic steatosis continues to increase worldwide. Hepatic steatosis is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. However, there are limited options for the treatment of…
AIMS: Data support favourable haemodynamic benefits of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) on improving cardiac structural abnormalities and function in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the direct haemodynamic effects of G…
BACKGROUND: This study systematically compares the risk of long-term ocular adverse events between subcutaneous and oral semaglutide preparations to assess pathway-specific safety differences. METHODS: In this study, the Report odds ratio (ROR) techn…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are widely utilized for managing diabetes and obesity due to their efficacy in improving glycemic control and promoting weight loss. However, their gastrointestinal effects, such as slowed motility…
BACKGROUND: Comorbid type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), severe obesity, and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) present therapeutic challenges, especially given the limited data on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists in this setting. METHODS:…
AIM: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effect of semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RAs), on new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in randomized clinical trials (RCTs). METHODS AND RESULTS: Twenty-six RCTs involving 48,…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and their analogues have emerged as effective pharmacotherapies for obesity. OBJECTIVE: To assess the short-term cost-effectiveness of subcutaneous tirzepatide, semaglutide, liraglutide, and oral…
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a neurological condition marked by elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) with no evident secondary cause, primarily affecting obese females of childbearing age. While acetazolamide is the stand…
CONTEXT: Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide/glucagon-like peptide 1 (GIP/GLP1) receptor agonist, was recently approved for type 2 diabetes and weight management. Alström syndrome (AS) is a rare, genetic, multisystemic disord…
